CLASSICAL GUITAR FORUM CRACK

CLASSICAL GUITAR FORUM CRACK

New tuners, oil and polish, and a repaired crack in the back/side joint later, it's my go-to guitar and has won blind tests sent to my most trusted guitar friend up against guitars well over $1000. It has the right woods too - cedar and rosewood - and only cost $20 at a thrift store. My classical guitar is a Japanese Ibanez-branded guitar from presumably the mid-1970s or early 1980s. You don't have to buy a Spanish-made guitar, but I understand why one might want to. It has the right solid woods and good reviews. Without having tried that particular guitar, it seems like a solid option. Last edited by markesquire 06-05-2022 at 05:35 PM. Also, are there particular strings or setup ideas to get more of that warm faux electrified jazz sound instead of the ultra-Latin nylon-string-popping sound?

If I were to buy a classical with a budget around $1k, what should I know first, which models should I consider, etc.? It looks like the Cordoba C10 is highly recommended in that ballpark. It almost sounded like an electrified jazz archtop sound, but acoustic.

I really like how the upper strings were warm instead of overly bright and steely. But I was recently in a guitar store and picked up a classical and was really impressed. I’ve never really looked into classical guitars because I don’t particularly like Spanish or classical guitar music. I now have young kids and have considered getting a small body acoustic for simple, quiet, finger style music at bedtime.

I have a Gibson SJ-200 steel string that I like for loud strumming, though I don’t play it much.
